Claygate Flower Show - Official Website

I have much pleasure in welcoming you all to this year's Claygate Flower & Village Show - 109 years since it was first established. I feel quite privileged to be president in this very special year for our country. Not only is it The Queen's Diamond Jubilee year and the year in which The London Olympics are being held, but there are also several other events being commemorated - for example the bicentenary of Charles Dickens's birth and the centenary of The Titanic disaster.

Rest assured that the Claygate Flower Show committee will be working as hard as ever to put on a Show worthy of 2012. We are very fortunate to have a hard working band, with new people always ready to step up and take on tasks which others have had to relinquish after many years of loyal service.

Please come along on July 14th and enjoy what is on offer, and perhaps enter one or two classes. We can promise that there will be something for all ages - from 2 years to 102 years! Without you The Show would not be the big annual event that it is for our village!

One of the amazing things about the Show is how everything comes together on the day, with only a comparatively small group of people involved. However, we are always grateful to extra non-committee people who volunteer their services for the few days prior to the show when there are many extra tasks to be carried out in the setting up process. Recently many of our young people have been amongst these helpers, and this bodes well for the Show's future. Unfortunately I have to note the sad death of Tony Levitt, long term Claygate dweller and stalwart of the show for many years.
